RIP Lew

BRUTUS

RIP.

There was nothing like a JJ vs. Brutus final round at New England Dragway.

 

[Larry]

There are far too many of the founders going away.
The bright side would be Brutus vs JJ again in the hereafter!
RIP big guy !

Hate to see more news like this. My best to his family and friends.

This is something that I have been dreading for a long time. As I get older, my heroes do as well. Eventually the legends of our sport are going to pass and it's just going to get tougher and tougher to deal with. The advice I can share is when you do get the chance to see these people, show them appreciation for all they have done for Drag Racing.

Dave, you are 100% correct. I don't know what else to add to your post, so I won't.

R.I.P. Mr. Arrington. My condolences to his friends and family.

Rest In peace Lew. Thanks for being such a showman. I am thankful to have witnessed probably the greatest era of funny car racing. Remembering the header flames illuminating the BRUTUS moniker on the sides of that Mustang those many summer evenings at Raceway Park
